It is calculated by dividing the hemoglobin by the hematocrit. Reference ranges for blood tests are 32 to 36 g/dL, or between 19.9 and 22.3 mmol/L. It is thus a mass or molar concentration. Still, many instances measure MCHC in percentage (%), as if it were a mass fraction (m Hb / m RBC).CHC is elevated (hyperchromic) in hereditary spherocytosis, sickle cell disease and homozygous hemoglobin C disease. This count is used to give a rough guide to what shade of red erythrocytes will be (i.e., the paler the color the lower the MCHC will be than the standard).
Your hay analysis should show the DM content of your forage. If you are feeding 100% hay and your hay contains 90% DM (or 10% moisture), your 1000 lb horse should be fed 20 lb of hay (18 lb DM/0.9) straight from the bale each day.Clearly, weighing hay is the most effective way to measure the correct amount.our hay analysis should show the DM content of your forage.

A horse should eat one to two percent of his body weight in roughage every day. Horses who spend much of their time in stalls arenât doing much grazing, but their natural feeding patterns can be replicated by keeping hay in front of them for most of the day. Two major factors for deciding how much your horse needs to eat are her size and the amount of work she does. 2  Consider the amount of hay or pasture your horse gets: Horses who are grazing on good pasture the majority of the day donât need much hay, if any.
